The Holderness Inn is a former 19th century hotel building on United States Route 3 in Holderness, New Hampshire. It is the only such building standing in the Squam Lake area, from a period when there were a significant number of resort hotels around the lake. This 3.5 story wood frame building was built in 1895-6 by John Davison, whose previous hotel building, a converted parsonage, was destroyed by fire. The main block of the building is topped by a gabled mansard roof. A three story wing extends northeast from the main block, and is similarly roofed. The north side of the wing has had a two story shed-roof addition added. The main block has a porch that wraps around three sides.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1] It is now owned by the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, and is open seasonally as an art gallery and craft showroom.[3]
